Win 1 of 3 quilts!

I'd like to give these three different quilts to three different winners.

Um . . . Er. . . Well, let me rephrase that . . .

I'm going to give these three different quilts to three different winners.

I've talked about them all before but let me do a little run down. The first up is made from the new line of fabric called Sugar Snap from Melissa Averinos for Free Spirit. You'll remember that she (as in the fabric designer herself Melissa!) generously gave me the fabric specifically for this give away. She sent it when I was the busiest with my soap company and stuff so in order to make all this work a lovely friend of mine actually made the quilt. Her name is Anne and she does impeccable work. And, since after every quilt giveaway I get a slew of requests to replicate the giveaway quilt, Anne is willing and able to do that for anyone who wants one. How stinkin' cool is that? If your interested email me and I'll get you in contact with Super Quilter Extraordinaire Anne!

Did I mention the Sugar Snap quilt measures 53 x 63 and is 100% cotton? I've washed and dried it to give it that crinkly, wrinkly look that I love. It's so incredibly my style and whoever wins it is one lucky duck for sure.

I've spoken some about the middle quilt as well. It is made with fabric from Moda by their uber-talented designer Tula Pink. Remember she signed a bit of her Nest fabric and sent it to my long arm quilter Russ? That hand signed bit of fabric is IN this quilt!

And just so you know, the Nest quilt measures 56 x 64 and it too has already been washed and dried for that lovely aged affect. Rest assured, however, that in case it arrives at your house smelling like the fried chicken we had for dinner last Sunday you are perfectly safe to throw it in the washing machine and drier.

Last, but certainly not least is this 45 inch square quilt. It too is 100% cotton and washed and ready for use.

But go it must! Now back to scrubbing the floors and cleaning the chimney girls! No time for tears! I've got a contest to start!

How to enter? Leave a comment to this post.

Wanna earn extra entries? There are THREE different ways to increase you chances.

First, blog about my give away. Snag any of the photos here to put in your blog post. Blog it. Twitter it. Facebook it. Do any of that and it gives you FIVE extra entries.

Second, put the above button in the sidebar of your blog. Simply copy and paste the text in the box below and put it in your sidebar. Dude! That earns you FIVE more entries. Now you're up to TEN.

Third, make a video and upload the video to YouTube with the title being the link to my blog (so title it, "http://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com"). Make it about why you wanna win a quilt. Make it funny. Making and uploading a video earns you FIFTY extra chances!

I'll close the contest at 7:00pm US EST on Monday, November 17, 2008. International entries welcome. ALL winners will be selected by random draw. The video entries earn an extra 50 chances but it still remains random. If I had to choose by merit then I'd never, ever in a billion years be able to choose a winner. I'd be up for the rest of my life making quilts for each and every one of you. And who would feed and clothe my children? And more importantly, who would supervise them on the whole floor scrubbin' thing?

I am loving all of the video entries so far and plan to feature them all here eventually. If you want yours to be linked to you and your blog, etc. then let me know in an email. dana@oldredbarnco.com

ETA: If you are still feeling the quilty love then head over to Camille's blog cause she is giving away a quilt too. And she is gonna custom make it for the winner with one of her own patterns. Dude! Check out her blog Simplify . . . it is a feast for the eyes and your fabric lovin' heart!

I think I was one of the earlier commenters in the last one and it didn't pay off. Darn. It was so cold at my house last night. I wish I would've had one of these to snuggle up with on the couch. Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi again!!! For some reason I cannot put the button on my sidebar, Over-blog won't accept it, so I put it in a post instead along with the pictures and sent the link directly here. Hope that's OK and will increase my chances of winning one of those gorgeous quilts!!!

Thanks for the game and your extremely generous offer and to the people who helped you in the effort too!!!

Dana, Dana, Dana! You are in thick! It's going to be a fun week :) I still would do the joint custody if you wanted to - I might have a plan ;) Not that I couldn't make them myself but winning is such a rush! You understand. The quilts are beautiful, here's hoping you don't have to send them to strangers :)

I will be posting both on my blog and sidebar . . . I don't have a current video camera, so no video from me. Just imagine my sweet little ones jumping on their beds with no quilts - k?

Dana, I want to win one of those quilts! I have posted pictures on my blog, http://fudgebuckets.blogspot.com/and have also put your box in my sidebar. That gives me 11 chances, correct? If I could make a video, I would do that too! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Wow! I have been anxiously awaiting this give away! They are all so BEAUTIFUL!! I would be so excited to win one. I have posted on my blog about the give away as well as my side bar. OK now I have to try to find out from my daughters who are much more computer savy than I am how to do the you tube thing. I am hoping to do that to. I HAVE to win one of these beautiful quilts as I already have a home picked out for them. I can't wait to hear the winners!

well dana you've done it once again! very very lovely! you didnt say how razor did in that last race, the cute monyako that he is. the snow is melting just to be all covered up again this weekend. hunters will be happy with some snow opening weekend. yeah...less dear to leap in front of your car.

Those are pretty, let me see if I can figure out how to do all those steps. I'll probbly put the button on my angoraknitter blog, cause it's more craft oriented...first visit to your blog...my dh and I are getting into cycling, but your dh's sport looks more like something my dh would enjoy. I on the other hand prefer being a roadie.

I would really really like to have one of these beautiful quilts. I've added your giveaway to my sidebar, and posted about your giveaway on my blog. Come by & see me at whenlifegivesyoulemons2.blogspot.com

Dana, great job on the photos! All three look fantastic! I'm going to add you to my blog, but I'm probably a conflict of interest :) Although, if you'd happen to pick my name, the quilt could go to a nearby children's hospital? Anyhow, great job organizing this. I can't wait to hear of the results!

Oh yippee!!!!! Here is my entry. And you better be ready for a delightful little video from yours truly. I will also post about it on my blog and insert the sidebar "thingy" into my blog. If I happen to win, I have promised my mom that she can get the quilt this time. I suppose that's fair since I already have one of your amazing creations! But I think she's also going to enter possibly, so be ready to hear from one excited mom who wants one of your quilts so very badly! :)

I so would love to have any one of these quilts . I however am unlucky in the sense that this will be my only entry because I am technologically chalenged and don't have a blog or youtube capability. Maybe I will get lucky and figure it out! Thank you so for your generosity and the inspiration that you make available to many on the environment and the utter importance of so many issues. I truly appreciate what you do and hopefully can figure out how to spread some of the word!

Thank you for sharing in this beautiful giveaway! I am also happy to have found out about your company as I wouldn't have otherwise!I will be more than hapy to spread the word about your company!Thanks!

PS: Now off to think RANDOM thoughts of the RANDOM chance to be a RANDOM winner of a RANDOM quilt... ;)

I'd also like to be entered into your generous giveaway. I will go add a post to my blog about you and you are already in my sidebar. Keeping everything crossed. My cats wanted to enter also, but I told them they could share with me. LOL

Oh Yippie! This is always so much fun Dana. I will not only blog about it but add it to facebook, twitter, and I might even climb up on my roof and shout to the neighbors. I am sure that would attract a bit of attention. Look for my video very soon. Hope you have a lot of fun with this amazing giveaway.

The only quilt I ever made was many years ago when I didn't understand that quilt block patterns do not have seam allowance added, so my double bed size quilt ended up as a gift to my Mom for when she was traveling. She was thrilled with the gift (I even made a pillow to match) and insisted that it was fate that allowed me to make the quilt sized for her - would love to won one of your beautiful quilts - much more professional than mine.

I'm so glad I am able to participate and did not missed it :) So I've talk about it on my blog and here is the link http://pescbrico.blogspot.com/2008/11/quilt-giveaway-tirage-dune-courtepointe.html. I also put the link on the side bar on my blog! You are doing such a great job! :) Thanks for all the fun and the hard work :)

Wow - I can't believe you're doing this again so soon! I am amazed and impressed and in awe and all of the above! I have blogged you and put you in my sidebar, and if I can figure out how to do it I'll do the You Tube thing and comment again that I have done so.
